We have audited the accompanying Financial Statements
of SHILCHAR TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED ("the Company),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March,
2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in
Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then
ended and notes to the Financial Statements, including
a summary of material accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
financial statements give the information required by the
Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") in the manner so required
and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian
Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the
Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs
of the Company as at 31st March, 2025, the profit and total
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows
for the year ended on that date.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit of the Financial Statements in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified
under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further described
in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements Section of our report. We are independent of
the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together
with the independence requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the Financial Statements under the provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion on the Financial Statements.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
Financial Statements of the current period. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial
Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to
communicate in our report.
INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENT AND AUDITOR'S REPORT THEREON
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for
the preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in
Board's Report including Annexure to that Board's Report,
Corporate Governance, and Shareholder's Information,
but does not include the Financial Statements and our
auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover
the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge
obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that
there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND
THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act,
2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these
Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows
of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
the accounting Standards specified under Section 133
of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance
of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the
Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and
other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate
accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that
are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation
and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,
that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy
and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the Financial Statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
In preparing the Financial Statements, management is
responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so;
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing
the Company's financial reporting process.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and
to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when
it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of
the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control;
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i)
of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible
for expressing our opinion on whether the Company
has adequate internal financial controls system in place
and the operating effectiveness of such controls;
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management;
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use
of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor's report to the related
disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained
up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease
to continue as a going concern;
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the Financial Statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation;
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
financial statements that, individually or in aggregate,
makes it probable that the economic decisions of a
reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements
may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality
and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit
work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to
evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the
financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of
the Company of which we are the independent auditors
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit;
We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate
with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards;
From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the
current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a
matter should not be communicated in our report because
the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably
be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication.
